The Swann Dress, my favorite

But do you love it as much as I do?  How come none of the retailers did?  I think because she's quite heavy. She has a wool crepe skirt and a satin bodice with inserts of linen overlaid with cotton lace.   And buckles at the sides for a belt that just goes at the back.  Crafty, eh?  Marvel at how the linen shaping at the neckline mimics a collar.  This sample's not for sale (because I'm keeping it for my very own wearing pleasure.)
